What would you do if you heard a nuke alert
page 2

Sit and watch the news.
The only countries which might nuke mine probably have guidance computers about as advanced than my old Nokia 5110 and only half as reliable, so even if they aimed it at my house it’d likely as not be heading for Brazil.
And even if it was going to hit my country, I currently live in a place with less strategic importance than most of the areas around it, so staying put would be my best option.

> Hydrogen bombs have a larger impact radius, whereas the destruction of an atomic bomb is largely influenced by weather conditions since it’s not the initial impact that causes havoc, but the fallout (radioactive dirt and dust). This fallout is extremely detrimental to crop growth and general health of the affected population. Also, when used in large quantities, either hydrogen bombs or ‘nukes’ may cause what is called a “nuclear winter”, in other words, the dust and dirt that is blasted into the air blocks off the sunlight for years or even decades, efficiently destroying all forms of life that require sunlight.
Hydrogen bombs are considered a subset of nuclear weapons. Or is that what you were saying? Anyway, what kind of direct impact on humans would the fallout have from a small/large nuclear weapon?

might as well throw in my opinion, Well first i would probably grab a tank of gas and food, then get in a car (with 4WD)
and attempt to drive away off of the roads, (due to the fact that roads would probably be overran) Then i could probably use the radio to get around where its headed, and head away from there, overall i would try to get to the best survival chance

> If you didn’t know modern nuclear weapons aren’t gigantic, it’s okay. No need to play the ‘yeah duh’, ’that’s a different topic’, and ‘so lets stay on topic’ cards.
you’re talking about tactical nukes. i know tactical nukes are employed sometimes. this debate is not about tactical nukes. no-one is going to sound a nuke alert over tactical nukes. they’d sound an air-raid or siege alert.
clearly what’s implied here is strategic nukes. what the American government was debating when they were debating nuking Iran was a strategic nuke, not a tactical nuke.
there’s no telling how big the total destruction radius of those can be.
> The person was talking about nukes. Tzar Bomba was a hydrogen bomb.
hydrogen bombs are nuclear bombs; or thermonuclear bombs to be precise.

How many H-bombs do you think it would take to destroy the whole country?

Yeah, we already covered this; I shouldn’t be left alone with a history text book and figure out math.
Though, a large enough H-bomb in the right spot could, possibly, destroy the country, just over a longer time period and it would be more organisational (anarchy, in a sense) than physical, i.e destroying the whole country in that it would level all the buildings and land in it.

That’s some scary scary shit.
Anyway, I’d order a pizza and see what turned up first.

I’ll bring the pizza.

I feel a nuke would be much more likely to hit Newcastle than Sunderland, but if it did or if a nuke hit each i feel like i would be in between a rock and a hard place because i live in the north of Sunderland and going north or south would take me further into a population center, going east would take me into the sea, and I’m not a very fast swimmer, and i feel it would take to long to escape the blast radius traveling directly west. I think i might try and mess with the insurance companies by taking out the biggest policy i possibly could on the off chance i somehow survive.

I’ll warn you both now. Edinburgh’s full of Scots. A half a million people with attitudes similar to mine.
If you come, on your own heads be it :)
This is possibly also why we’re relatively safe from nukes here. No sane nuclear warhead will go within a hundred miles of a Scottish town :)

this isnt suposed to be funny but this is what id do
id go next door and flip off my neighbor because he allows his daughter to blast jb music a 3 in the morning

> Florida is fucked assuming they are coming from Cuba.
i don’t think so. if Cubans are shooting them, i’m pretty sure they won’t target them at something so close-by as Florida. you’d have more to fear from retaliation nukes shot at Cuba.

I think the US has some crazy missile defense system set up to prevent these things, but I guess if they didn’t, I’d just drive north to Pennsylvania. Assuming that they are targeting Washington, and not some crappy suburbs.
